Judaism and AI: Dignity and Moral Responsibility

Judaism and AI: Dignity and Moral Responsibility

Artificial intelligence is commonly treated as a problem of regulation, safety, or alignment. Judaism and Artificial Intelligence argues that this framing misses the deeper issue. Al is not only a technological disruption—it is a moral one. Moshe Pitchon shows how Al reshapes the conditions under which judgment and responsibility arise. By accelerating decisio1Hnaking, automating recommendation, and dispersing agency across systems that cannot answer for their actions, Al determines the human capacity to interrupt action and take responsibility. Drawing on Jewish moral thought—not as theology but as a civilizational account of obligation, time, and answerability—the book explains why regulation is necessary yet insufficient. Law governs tools; responsibility governs persons. Clear, original and philosophically grounded, this book speaks to readers in ethics, technology, philosophy, religion studies, and public policy who are concerned with the future of moral agency in a world shaped by intelligent systems.
